Yes.

No.

Different major versions (i.e. each branch or tag) usually have
different source and installation directories, so that you can have
multiple versions installed.

You can rename the source directory as you see fit, and you can
control the installation directory when running "make install" with
the INST_DIR variable, e.g. "make install INST_DIR=/usr/local/grass".
